Oriflame Flamboyant is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Françoise Caron. Flamboyant opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Pepper, Cardamom, Nutmeg, and Bay Leaf, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Oriflame's Flamboyant carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its elegant spicy woods and decent performance, while others find it chaotic, overly peppery, and disappointing. Not for blind buys.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opening with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and orange, Flamboyant initially promises a lively citrus hit. This quickly gives way to a dominant spicy core, where warm pepper, aromatic cardamom, and nutmeg mingle, adding a noticeable kick. The dry down settles into a woody embrace of Virginia cedarwood and sandalwood, grounded by a subtle musk and earthy oakmoss, giving it a classic, masculine finish.
